There are many #Friendica fans, and for good reason. Once you get past the learning curve from the difficult UI, you get to appreciate the extra benefits of built-in #Bluesky, #Lemmy/#Piefed/#MBIN, #Tumblr, and #RSS feed integration. It also has #Diasporia integration and some other protocol integrations. Of course, it’s also a #Mastodon alternative.

Nobody ever mentions Friendica as being a #Threadiverse app, but it has Groups, which is built-in Threadiverse capability. If you follow a Community on Lemmy/Piefed/MBIN, for example, it gets categorized as a group and is placed into a separate section for the groups you are part of. Then you can read and post in the Group (Community/Magazine) just like you would on a Threadiverse application. You can also create public and private groups.

And there is no need to use a Bluesky bridge if the Friendica instance you are on has the integration turned on.

Here’s an excellent 5-minute video showing Friendica created by @[email protected] for those interested in seeing how it works.

    My issue right now, and I’m sure for others as well, is lack of an iPhone app. I think Friendica is decent and will only get better with more adaption. An app would help with that I believe. Right now I’m using it as a web app.

      Maybe consider getting a phone that doesn’t require a paid developer account for the privilege of distributing software.

    Probably because the second sentence of your own post intending to promote it was an immediate concession that the UI sucks. “It’s great once you get past how bad it is” isn’t a great pitch.

    What the Hell is a Threadiverse? Maybe we don’t give a corporate entity branding and credit for a network we built well before they ever came along.
